Where to Use Cannabis in Las Vegas

You walk out of a Vegas dispensary with a bag of premium, a top-shelf product under your arm. Good times are ahead!

Now comes the hard part: figuring out where to smoke weed in Vegas.

Of course, if you’re a Las Vegas resident and have a home to call your own, this isn’t actually a problem.

But if you’re visiting from out of town, things can get tricky. It’s really hard to find safe places to smoke weed. Nevada laws are strict about where you can and can’t use cannabis in Las Vegas. If you break those laws, you could wind up facing a hefty fine.

To ensure that you’re able to enjoy your cannabis and obey local statutes at the same time, here’s a quick guide on where to use cannabis in Las Vegas.

What About Cannabis Lounges?

There’s been a lot of buzz in the news lately over whether or not cannabis lounges will open in Las Vegas.

In case you’re not familiar with the concept, a cannabis lounge would function just like a bar; it’d be a legal establishment where people can consume marijuana.

Here’s some good news: the Legislative Counsel Bureau recently stated that, according to state law, cannabis lounges could legally operate in Nevada as long as

● The patrons of the lounge are of legal age (21 years or older)
● No one inside the lounge possesses more than the legal limit of cannabis

But don’t get too excited just yet. It’ll be up to local governments to decide whether cannabis lounges will be allowed to operate. And for now, Clark County commissioners want to hold off discussing the issue until December.
